MediaCie
We are the MediaCie, currently consisting of Emma, Noortje, Jelmer, Noor & Marijn. With the MediaCie we manage and maintain our social media, such as this website and our Instagram page. Together we use our creativity and imagination to share interesting posts on Instagram and keep the website up-to-date. We also make pictures to ensure that memories of our fun activities are safely stored on this website, where your privacy is guaranteed. Furthermore, we are always open to new ideas to improve Nitocra's social media, so don’t hesitate to share with ilw.nitocra@wur.nl
BusinessCie
The BusinessCie is responsible for organising career events such as lunch lectures, workshops, symposia, and alumni activities. In close cooperation with the Commissioner of External Affairs, the committee also engages in communication with all sponsors and parties interested in collaborating with Nitocra to facilitate the connection between students and the industry.
Creacie
The Creacie is the creative committee of Nitocra. We keep ourselves busy with all things culturally related. Some of the events we organise:
Fun and diverse workshop evenings that can include arts like dance, design, clay, origami or music.
Culturally educative movie nights, where we often show documentaries that discuss topics beyond the scope of land- and water management we usually get in the lectures. For this, we often pair up with the organisation Movies that Matter.
Our main activity is the Candle Light, which happens twice every year. It is an evening where we invite our musically talented Nitocrans to perform in a laid-back, candle lit setting for other Nitocrans. Of course, non-musical, performable talents are also allowed ;) In winter we sit in a cozy living room, and during summer we replace the candles with a camp fire by the Rhine.
EducaCie
The EducaCie is the committee of Nitocra which organises fun and educational related activities. We think students have a lot to learn from each other, so we try to stimulate the passing-on of information down through internship, minor, and Erasmus talks! Besides, we want to involve students more in the process of improving the BIL and MIL programme. We try to achieve this by evaluating the courses together with the coordinator and a group of students and talk about the strong aspects of courses and points where they could improve. Last but definitely not least, the EducaCie organises several walkalong days for future students throughout the year. During this day, we show interested students the tip of the ice-berg of our wonderful bachelor programme! Most of us are also usually found at open days, where we help people find the perfect study.
ExcurCie
Each year the ExcurCie organizes an educational excursion for Nitocra members to provide more knowledge on various topics in our field. Examples of previous excursions are a visit to the floating farm and the Maeslantkering in Rotterdam and a visit to a geopark in Germany. These excursions are not only informative but also a lot of fun!
Foodcie
Hi, we are the Foodcie and we are the most tasteful committee of Nitocra! As the name already says, we organise food related activities. Mostly, our committee provides food for our fellow Nitocrans. Examples are pie lunches and the annual barbecue where we celebrate the end of the study year. Our biggest activity is the gala dinner, where we cook a fancy dinner for a lot of people. This is the activity where we can really show off our cooking skills ;).
However, we want to encourage Nitocrans to improve their own cooking skills as well, which they can do in for example the Running Dinner! It is also a great possibility for the different years to get to know each other.
We as the Foodcie also encourage each other to learn new recipes and such. That is why we meet a lot of times, which is of course really fun!
FreshmenCie
Meet the freshmencie! As a committee we are hoping to kickstart the studentlife of the upcoming first-year-billers. During the AID we will promote our amazing study association to hopefully become even more fun! Organizing the iconic Freshman Weekend also lies in our hands; maybe we will find out that we have a future soil auger champion among us. Make sure to say hi to the new faces in the blue and yellow sweaters next year to give them a warm welcome!☺️
Goodcie
We as the Goodcie make sure our members have some merchandise to wear and show of to other people. We think of nice things for our members to buy, and then we make designs for people to choose from so that the most people like what we sell. Another thing we do is think of the design of all kinds of trinkets, or ‘hebbedingetjes’ in Dutch. These trinkets consist of things like pens, mugs, beer openers and more. We make no profit on the merchandise we sell as we keep the wellbeing of our members as one of our foremost priorities, just after designing the best merch ;).
GalaCie
The GalaCie is the committee that brings the Nitocra Gala to life, organizing an unforgettable night each year! Every year, starting around the winter break, a group of members comes together to start planning an incredible night for all Nitocrans. From picking the perfect theme and decorations to working with the FoodCie for a delicious three-course dinner, the GalaCie puts in months of effort to create a magical evening. It’s a fun and rewarding experience, especially when you see everyone enjoying the night you helped organize. The GalaCie is excited for the annual Nitocra Gala, hope to see you there!
Mastercie
The master committee (MasterCie) is a commitee of the master International Land and Water Management which aims to organize various events throughout the year to connect fellow students and especially international students with Dutch students. So, the aim of the MasterCie is to help students engage of the master International Land and Water Management, especially with the upcoming field trip to Spain. This will be done by for example organising dinner nights, BBQ’s and weekend trips. Moreover, career and future focused reading will be organised to help students with a future career choice.
Parentsdaycie
Every year S.A. Nitocra organises the Parent day for all the family member of Nitocra members. We, the parentsdaycie, organise this big event. The whole day we entertain and inform the families of our members with interesting talks, lectures and a tour over the campus. We even visit the one and only World Soil museum and go to the Hydraulic lab. Not to forget, the best way to see the campus is by driving around in a tractor. We make sure that everyone has fun day and gets to know the families of their fellow students!
PieterpadCie
The Pieterpadcie organizes enjoyable hikes for Nitocra’s members along the Pieterpad, one of the most renowned long-distance walking trails in the Netherlands. Nitocrans have the chance to explore not only the Pieterpad but also other beautiful areas across the country. These hikes allow members to appreciate scenic landscapes, immerse themselves in cultural heritage, and connect with fellow outdoor enthusiasts, making it a wonderful opportunity for adventure and social interaction.
Sensacie
Sportcie
The Sportcie organizes sport-related events for Nitocrans to take part in. Activities can be anything remotely involving physical movement, and range from laser gaming to football to Wii tournaments. The Sporctie not only arranges these events but also has a great time while doing so!
